EDITOR'S UPDATE: The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has since put out a statement that Mark Sanchez was arrested on three alleged misdemeanor charges for his role in the overnight incident during which he was stabbed.
Mark Sanchez, former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst, is in stable condition after being stabbed early Saturday morning in Indianapolis, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
“Mark Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis on Saturday and is currently recovering in the hospital in stable condition," Fox Sports said in a statement. "We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time.”
Sanchez was in Indianapolis to call Sunday's Raiders-Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium, per Pelissero.
Sanchez, 38, has been working for Fox Sports as an NFL analyst and broadcaster since 2021.
Sanchez spent 10 seasons in the NFL before beginning his broadcasting career. The New York Jets selected Sanchez with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and the USC product quickly found great success, leading New York to consecutive AFC Championship Games from 2009-2010.
After five seasons with the Jets, Sanchez had stints with the Philadelphia Eagles (2014-15), Denver Broncos (2016), Dallas Cowboys (2016), Chicago Bears (2017) and Washington (2018) before announcing his retirement.
